H.W.

Former President George H.W. Bush has been accused of sexually assaulting actress Heather Lind during a screening of her AMC show. Lind says Bush touched her "from behind his wheelchair, with his wife, Barbara, by his side. And, then he told her a "dirty joke" and touched her again.

Bush has apologized and his representative said the former president might have erred in an attempt at humor. Ya think? Bush is 93 years old.

Did he do it - touch her? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. Or, is Lind looking to get in on the Hollywood hunt? I have no way of knowing that. If I was a wild-eyed liberal I would know for sure he did, even though I was not there.

Let’s look at the other side, and not just this incident. Do women have a part in sexual harassment? It is such a broad term and would include a man scratching an itch he could not stand otherwise. I’m not about to condone real cases of assault, rape, or even harassment. It is wrong by any standard. But, I do have to wonder if some of the accused are guilty. Especially in the Hollywood hunt. The women waited years, after they became stars, to mention it. If they got what they wanted, then it may just be part of a deal.

Just think about it objectively.
